Ivo Dimchev: The Selfie Concert

In cooperation with Theaterfestival Basel and Kunsttage Basel. Tickets via Theaterfestival Basel

His legendary appearance on The X Factor UK is unforgettable. Now, with his "Selfie Concert", he is making a cautious foray into the Kunstmuseum Basel, a venue that could hardly be more fitting, as Dimchev himself seems to have stepped out of the painting gallery of the Flemish Masters.
